With branches throughout the country filled with passionate experts, Southpac is a total transport solution. The only truck distributor in New Zealand that is 100% New Zealand-owned and -operated, there is a personal, local touch to Southpac’s work crafting customised-for-purpose trucks that are built to national conditions.
Southpac believes that there is no such thing as a typical journey or standard freight task. Every driver, route, transport operator, and load is unique, and should be responded to accordingly. With such work comes many moving parts—many types of tasks, each with different levels of risk. All the little details can pile up. Without a clear and engaging system, keeping the health and safety wheels on track becomes challenging.
‘It started off with four or five people passionate about trucks, and now we have multiple branches’, Southpac Project Manager Richard Gibbons told ecoPortal. ‘But we haven't lost that value of family and working together, and obviously part of that is keeping health and safety at the core of all of that.’
